Casino.com congratulates UK player 02R07283482 who proved that Jacks ARE Better when they won a whopping $60,000 on the progressive video poker game Jacks or Better. From only a $1.25 spin, they hit a Club Royal Flush and scooped the big money.

So simple that anyone can play it, Jacks or Better is the most common variation of video poker available. Basically, it does what it says on the tin. Jacks or Better pays off on a pair, as long as that pair is Jacks – or better. Therefore, great as an introduction to video poker for novices, it’s also a rewarding no-frills game for the more accomplished online poker player.

With no wild cards or jokers, the game is played with a standard pack of 52 cards, shuffled before each deal and therefore totally random. Clicking ‘Deal’ begins play and you receive a five-card hand. Your aim is simply to get the best-paying poker hand, therefore you either keep or throw away whichever cards you choose. Those you reject are replaced, and if your replacements complete a winning combination, you win.

A Royal Flush is the highest paying hand in poker and will reward you with the maximum jackpot, but numerous combinations pay out decreasing amounts, from a Straight Flush all the way down to the eponymous pair of Jacks or Better.

Casino.com offers the traditional Jacks or Better, along with a 4-line, 50-line, and a progressive 10-line version of the online poker game.

Online poker players who qualified for the WSOP Main Event through MansionPoker.com’s satellite poker tournaments have automatically been entered into a special freeroll for a chance to win a place at the WSOP Celebrity Bounty Bash. Up for grabs is prize money of $20,000, a $13,000 package to the WSOP 2010 Main Event, and the opportunity to play against some of poker’s greatest players.

MansionPoker.com players qualified for the WSOP Main Poker  Event through buy-ins ranging from 77 cents to $535. One online poker player even qualified via a freeroll, having won entry by simply playing for 20 days during a promotion.
 
The special freeroll takes place on June 21, 2009, and is open to all winners of network packages to the WSOP main event. Only 21 poker players can qualify for the Celebrity Bounty Bash, so the online poker  freeroll will be played until only these 21 remain. They will then go on to the live poker tournament at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, on July 9, 2009. 

Prize money at the live tournament is $20,000, winner takes all, and in addition to the 21 qualifiers are six of the best players known to poker – formidable opponents Scott Nguyen, Neil Channing, Jamie Gold, Marty Smith and Tony G. Also playing is Emmy Award-winning talk-show host Montel Williams, poker enthusiast, and an active campaigner for US poker players’ rights in online poker gaming.

The bounty on each of these celebrities is a $13,000 package to the WSOP 2010 Main Event, to be won by any player who knocks them out.

The first place high stake poker player will win $2000, and top low stake player receives $500. The following 19 players on each leader board share the remainder of the $11,000 prize pool.
